AI agents call openmeteo_get_flood to retrieve information from Open Meteo Mcp Server without modifying any data. This is common in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows where the agent needs context before taking action. Because read operations don't change state, they are generally safe to allow without restrictions -- but you may still want rate limits to control API costs.
Even though openmeteo_get_flood only reads data, uncontrolled read access can leak sensitive information or rack up API costs. An agent caught in a retry loop could make thousands of calls per minute. A rate limit gives you a safety net without blocking legitimate use.
Read-only tools are safe to allow by default. No rate limit needed unless you want to control costs.

GloFAS (Global Flood Awareness System) river discharge forecast and historical reanalysis. Returns daily ensemble river discharge (m³/s) for the river nearest to the given coordinates — no river ID needed, the API snaps to the nearest stream. Forecast horizon up to 210 days ahead; reanalysis history back to 1984-01-01. Use start_date/end_date for historical pulls and forecast_days for future forecasts; both can be combined. Available daily variables: "river_discharge" (ensemble mean), "river_discharge_mean", "river_discharge_min", "river_discharge_max", "river_discharge_median", "river_discharge_p25" (25th percentile), "river_discharge_p75" (75th percentile). Returns null for coordinates far from any river or in areas without GloFAS coverage.. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Open Meteo Mcp Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Open Meteo Mcp Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for openmeteo_get_flood: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Open Meteo Mcp Server. Nothing to install.
openmeteo_get_flood is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the openmeteo_get_flood rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for openmeteo_get_flood. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
openmeteo_get_flood is provided by the Open Meteo Mcp Server MCP server (@cyanheads/open-meteo-mcp-server). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
